Santa Cruz Handweavers Guild

Samplings of the collection are available to handweavers' guilds and/or individual members for stimulation and study for a period of three months. There is a fee of $25 per study box to cover shipping plus the cost of maintaining the Collection. To initiate receiving a box, contact the Guild via e-mail and print and mail the the order form.

Santa Cruz Handweaver Guild members will find the Study Boxes in the Guild Library.

Each box contains a small number (5-10) of samples and/or finished pieces plus documentation of each piece, comments and information about the techniques and a little about Anne's study of them (if known); a list of all the pieces in this particular grouping in the collection and comments of other borrowers about the pieces.

The groupings in the collection may be by technique, by geography/time period, or by a period of weaving in Anne's life. Here are the groupings with the names of the guild members who organized each particular study box in brackets:
